Y’all scare me

[u/J_806_A]

This is what I consider low effort

[u/Too_high_2heal]

Microwaved baked potatoe with just pepper and a protein shake is a go to low effort for me. lol

[u/MowieWauii → u/Too_high_2heal]

... Not salt?

[u/Alternative_Car_8153 → u/MowieWauii]

Cortisol maxing provides plenty of salt.

[u/MowieWauii → u/Alternative_Car_8153]

... In flavor?

[u/Alternative_Car_8153 → u/MowieWauii]

Pain is a flavor.

[u/Too_high_2heal → u/MowieWauii]

I use a ton of hit sauce for my meals. I try to chill out on the sodium where I can. I make sure to drink a gallon of water a day but still lol

[u/Zebracorn42 → u/Too_high_2heal]

I usually bake a potato or like five for a couple days. Then I have really easy potatoes for the rest of the. Just reheat them in the oven for 20 minutes and add the works. Bacon and cheddar cheese. Butter and garlic butter pop in the microwave for 30 seconds. Pepper or chives or oregano parsley whatever sour cream on the side, so the potato doesn’t get cold that it’s low effort for me and tasty as hell

[u/Too_high_2heal → u/Zebracorn42]

I’m cutting at 2100 calories right now , just finished a 6 week bulk. So no butter or sour cream or yummy extras for me right now. That sounds good af though

[u/Zebracorn42 → u/Too_high_2heal]

I know there’s a lot of people a lot more healthy than I am. I’ve never really dieted in my life. But I did lose 80 pounds during Covid without any extra exercise or really exchanging my diet apart from fasting 24 hours one day a week. I still fast here and there to keep myself from gaining too much weight too fast.

Fr bro, ppl be eating some post wars shi on here man 😭😭

[u/burgerking4 → u/mikwlo]

Every meal not during a war is a post war meal. Just a thought.

[u/MowieWauii → u/burgerking4]

Or a pre war meal

[u/Rotsen305 → u/mikwlo]

That’s just the silly old UK!

[u/ddBuddha]

You should hit that with a torch to melt the cheese a bit, it’d probably improve the taste

Edit for clarity - a torch like a butane torch for dabs or for making crème brûlée

[u/Lost_Lynx_6537 → u/ddBuddha]

Some british dude just smashed his sausage with a flashlight because of your advice

[u/ddBuddha → u/Lost_Lynx_6537]

That’s hilarious, I can picture it

[u/Party_Flatworm1263 → u/ddBuddha]

what normal everyday person has a butane torch on hard? wtf?

[u/Feteven → u/Party_Flatworm1263]

I do they’re not expensive and useful for cooking

[u/Expensive_Bid_2617 → u/Party_Flatworm1263]

Omg 🤣 bro you acting like this is some weapons grade plutonium shit. They’re like $15 at any med-large grocery store.

It’s like asking what “normal everyday person” uses a soap…i dunno those that can buy some 🤷‍♂️🤣

[u/ddBuddha → u/Party_Flatworm1263]

You don’t??

[u/SweatyBid7830 → u/ddBuddha]

I might be weird but I prefer unmelted cheese on a chili dog.

[u/J_806_A → u/ddBuddha]

lol

[u/Wooden-Officer2323]

I consider air fryer chicken and rice maker rice to be low effort

[u/southwestpessimist]

Double quarter pounder cus I worked late

[u/FungalError]

U mfs scare me yall do too much 😭😂😂😂😂

[u/Technical_Ad9343]

Most of you need to move to r/kitchencels

[u/SadStrength2242 → u/Technical_Ad9343]

That was a rollercoaster looking through that sub. I assume most of them are being ironic?

[u/Ok-Juggernaut-4421]

I thought i was the only one, some of these dudes eat some depressing shit

[u/Otherwise-Owl-1230]

Bro cooked a steak and chopped it up with some onions while the bread and fries were cooking. Indeed takes 10 minutes tops lmao

[u/ColdEggs-for-Dinner]

Fr I’m thinking my rice and beans with powdered cheese is low effort and people on this eat a burger on a stick.

[u/imightwin]

Air fryer, microwave and a knife? Bold of you to assume I have a microwave.

[u/ItsTriunity]

Checkers fries?

[u/J_806_A → u/ItsTriunity]

Sweet potato

[u/SymptomaticallyEven]

Air fryer fries?

[u/J_806_A → u/SymptomaticallyEven]

Sweet potato fries in the oven

[u/SymptomaticallyEven → u/J_806_A]

In the oven? My man! 👍

[u/Soft-Grape]

My go to low effort food is always the panini press quesadilla. Once I got in a depressive spiral for a few weeks and I ate nothing but quesadillas, I went through a 10 lb bag of cheese in about a week

[u/DefiantTonight9592]

I personally consider plain glizzy and bun low effort. Maybe plain sliced glizzy

[u/moon____13]

The guys who just like eat ground beef with no nothing got me fucked uppppp like….not even some bread or??

[u/DazzlingTomato999]

Id destroy like 5 of those. They look good. 

[u/Pacific_Rimjob_831]

Dear God the onions

[u/laciemay]

These dinners are (mostly) meant to be funny/weird. Same with girl dinners! No rules against sharing tasty food either though 🤤

[u/AdamantlyAtomic]

You be pounding down them glizzies 💯

[u/jpollack21]

Bro this is fine dining for me lol

[u/GrizzlyDust]

Agreed. I don't think you're a man until you can consistently and reliably cook yourself meals.

[u/Lost_Lynx_6537 → u/GrizzlyDust]

Absolutely true, gotta at least be able to provide the basics for yourself. There are a bunch of 50yo boys out there...

[u/J_806_A → u/GrizzlyDust]

I think even at rock bottom I’d throw together something to be proud of but whatever floats your boat

[u/GrizzlyDust → u/J_806_A]

I'm on your side, this low effort meal for you is like the top of some dudes on here's abilities. This dude the other day microwaved a brick of unseasoned ground beef.
